My shy puppy and I walked into Hillary’s Hound House and were immediately put at ease. Hillary’s warm, gently nature with dogs of all kinds showed right away. She speaks softly and the puppies listen on the spot - it’s amazing to watch! After that initial meeting, we were excited to start Penny in Hillary’s puppy training program. But we had no idea how life-changing it would actually be for our shy pup. To begin with, Hillary spent an hour each morning during Penny’s first week inviting me to help make her comfortable, play games, and do recall with them. She went above and beyond to accommodate Penny’s shy nature. And I’ve seen her do this with other pups too! Hillary is a true gem in the puppy world. She is a real live dog whisperer! After a few weeks, Penny made puppy friends, more of her personality came out, and she absolutely fell in love with Hillary and Hannah, and the rest of the team. It was so wonderful to see Penny come out of her shell and be happy with someone outside of our family. We extended her time to 6 weeks, and she has now graduated from the Hound House but we all miss it very much! This team is a stellar group of dog lovers. Truly, you won’t regret signing up!

We’re just walk in to ask for classes, because we adopted a puppy a few days ago, my son was excited but he didn’t understand why we went there, and the lady I don’t know if she’s the owner was RUDE!

We’re just walk in to ask for classes, because we adopted a puppy a few days ago, my son was excited but he didn’t understand why we went there, and the lady I don’t know if she’s the owner was RUDE! Don’t even explain or ask about the class just because my son said something wasn’t involved classes she just basically kick us out horrible person and bad BAD attitude. She makes my son feel upset. Not nice lady sorry for saying

We brought our 3 month old lab to Hilary who has done an amazing job. We wondered if it was too late for the program to be of benefit, but Hillary has showed it was not. He is so much better behaved and more important, loving. Don't hesitate to bring your pup here!

Our puppy’s behavior drastically improved after 1 week in the program!! Can’t recommend Hillary or her staff enough!

We love Hillary and her Hound House. And so does our dog Walter. He is so polite and lovely when we take him out in public, which is often. He so sweet with people, doesn’t jump, greets with kisses and happy tail. He is equally appropriate when meeting other dogs..we get a lot of compliments on his demeanor. Thanks to Hillary and her crew for all of their work with him.
